The Unreported Scandals Of The Obama Administration

by Arthur Foxake.

To the very end, as they grow more hysterical by the minute in their attempts to demonise Donald Trump, blame Vladimir Putin for all America's problems and escalated the middle east conflict into a global war, the brainwashed sycophants of mainstream media continue to praise Barack Obama to such an irrational and totally idiotic extent, a visitor from another planet who had not read alt - media might easily be led to believe the Cocksucker - In - Chief had been a half - adequate president or something.

Former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw, after Obama’s January 10 farewell speech gushed: “He’s been scandal free, frankly, in the White House. We haven’t had that what for a while.” Time magazine’s Joe Klein, back in December declared there has been “absolutely no hint of scandal” during his eight years. And in 2013 reporters first took up this line when the GOP Congress began investigating the myriad of scandals from Obama’s first term. At that time ABC’s Jon Karl noted that this was “a White House that takes pride in being scandal-free.” NPR’s Steve Inskeep asserted “This administration has been described, I don’t even know how many times, as remarkably scandal-free,” and Time’s Rana Foroohar noted “the President has been very rightfully proud of the lack of scandal in his administration so far.”

These liberal reporters have the audacity to bless this administration as scandal free, because many of Obama’s controversies were either ignored or barely reported by the establishment media.

The following is a look through NewsBuster's parent site MRC’s archives shows how disgusting some of the scandals involving the most corrupt and opaque administration ever, actually were. And yet even the worst scandals and gaffes made during the Obama administration were hardly mentioned at the time by mainstream media:

1: IRS politicised, told to target Tea Party supporters with full tax audits

2: Fast and Furious - the Federal government committed Federal crimes to help people traffickers, gun runners and drug dealers
